Global trends and epidemiological shifts in gastrointestinal cancers: insights from the past four decades

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiological profiles of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers vary across countries and over time, largely reflecting variations in risk factors and screening practices. We aimed to provide an overview of the current global burden of the five major types of GI cancers and conduct an updated evaluation of the long‐term trends of GI ...

Aflatoxin Contamination in Hazelnut Oil Obtained from Hazelnuts Containing High Levels of Aflatoxin

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018
In this study, the issue of whether the aflatoxin in high contaminated hazelnut has been passed to the hazelnut oil during production or not has been investigated. The oil and oil cake of the hazelnut samples that contained aflatoxin at a high level were

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

A Critical Overview of Common Foodborne Toxicants and Methods for Their Reliable Detection

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food is an essential commodity for human health. However, toxicants such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamide, and pesticides can be present in food either naturally or through processing, packaging, or some anthropogenic activities. A thorough review of carefully selected studies revealed that climate change and pandemics have led to an ...

Genetic Features of Aflatoxin-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Gastroenterology, 2017
BACKGROUND & AIMS Dietary exposure to aflatoxin is an important risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little is known about the genomic features and mutations of aflatoxin-associated HCCs compared with HCCs not associated with ...
